How to handle this wedding?

[Imsosorryalan]

Oo didn't even know this section was here!

Well, I am due to go to my cousins wedding in aug. which I am happy about as we get on well. We live in London and my aunties and cousins are in a small village near Wakefield west Yorkshire.
The problem is, they love taking the piss out of me when i visit ( few and far between with toung dcs) im the only one to have been to uni and have a professional role, the only one who has bought my house instead of council, and as i have been living in London for the best part of 20 years has meant I don't talk with a yorkshire accent. This to them is definitely hilarious and worthy of piss take EVERYTIME I visit. I always get comments about my 'posh' accent and being all lady dah.
I have always been friendly, taking an interest in what they have been doing but because of this, am dreading the wedding when all of them will be there!
I could have declined the invite but would love to just get to know them properly and enjoy there company without the crap they say whenever I open my mouth to speak.
Should I go and grin and bear it? ( this has always received comments about me being to good to talk to them) so it seems I can't win.

Any one liners to throw them off track?

Most have also never met my dh and he sounds even posher then me!!

Apologies for length and lack of paras, thought I had that covered

I get this from my Southern family aaalll the time.

Only they infer that as I am from near Liverpool, I am somehow less than them.

Mainly it is done in good humour, but the undertone is there that I am somehow less intelligent/cultured etc than they are.

I just give as good as I get. If they start taking the piss out of my accent I put on the most hideous mockney accent and call them all Del Boy (they are from Hampshire and Dorset.....makes me laugh, makes them fume)

Don't let it worry you, if people are so shallow as to put you down because of where you live, they aren't worth the brain space.

I love my family so much, doesn't mean I don't occasionally want to hit them in the face with a spade.

I would really hate this. Admittedly it's something I'm a bit over-sensitive about (was bullied at school about my supposedly 'posh' accent to the point where I hardly spoke for years and even as an adult feel self-conscious about my voice) but I think it's quite rude and must get very tedious after a while.

Could you politely ask them not to do it? Maybe they don't realise how much it bothers you.

Start to turn it round on them, have a bit of banter with them.. If they say you sound posh, ask then if they need you to speak slower so they can understand you? Ask them if they've got electricity yet, or hot and cold running water oooop north :) (I live up north btw before I upset anyone) do it jokingly and have a bit of fun with them. Have a couple of one liners up your sleeve, take the micky out of council houses and/or cars etc etc.

They prob realise it annoys you so they do it all the more. If they realise that it doesn't bother you and you have a bit of banter and you throw some stuff back at them they'll soon stop.
